AP Management
The AP Controller for managing Pepwave APs can be enabled by this option.
By default, the Pepwave MAX has an
integrated AP

the
External AP

When this option is enabled, the AP Controller will wait for management connections
originating from APs over the LAN on TCP and UDP port 11753. It will also wait for captive
portal connections on TCP port 443. An extended DHCP option "CAPWAP Access Controller
addresses" (field 138) will be added to the DHCP server. A local DNS record "wlancontroller"
will added to the local DNS proxy.
Permitted AP
With this option enabled, protocols that provide audio-visual communication sessions will be
defined on any packet network and passthrough the device.
